Not advocating as a way of life but if you want to see results and are impatient it does work.I have been drinking tropicana smoothies all week Sometimes nothing else apart from cups of herb tea On two occasions have had soup and salad for dinner.Have really lost my belly and really easy as its so convenient.The smoothies are only £1.50 at somerfields atm so really cheap too and delicious.You can of course make your own but I find this much better.Went for a curry last night and didn't eat half what I usually do and still feel slim this am.I am not going to weigh myself for another week
